Call crystal reports through java

Question

Hi, I have one crystal report and i want to create one front end application using java to show the reports to user. Can any one give me the code how can i invoke crystal reports through a java application?

Answer 1

There is a third party tool called crystal clear that we use at my company that does this. I'll give you a few words of caution though, it is not free and you do need to make changes to your application to support it. We use it with jsps but it's pure java so you could, theoretically, use any of the front end technologies you've tagged this question with.

Answer 2

You may be able to do this using Crystal Reports for Eclipse. This has APIs for both Java applications and web applications.
